Product Description

The QA1 Endura Racing Series is a loaded slot style of rod end that was introduced in the U.S. by QA1 in 1995. The body is machined with a significant groove going all the way around the interior of the body. The ball is then inserted into the machined slot, and a PTFE/Nylon material is injected. Serving as a liner to keep out dirt and debris out, while also lubricating the rod end. In addition to providing added strength, the injection molded race also won’t pound out like traditional PTFE liners, increasing the longevity of your rod ends.

This is simply the best rod end design for most motorsports applications.

AF Series Aluminum Female
QA1’s AF Aluminum Series rod ends are female endura rod ends that are designed specifically for performance applications where weight is a concern. With a Nylon/PTFE injection molded race, these rod ends are completely self-sealing and self-lubricating, keeping dirt and debris out. Over 10% lighter than traditional three-piece aluminum rod ends, the AF Series rod ends are the most wear-resistant aluminum design available.
